Original release (May 12):

Baltimore County Police have taken four people into custody after shots were fired at a Middle River Gas Station.

At 1:18 p.m. this afternoon, a Baltimore County Police responded to the BP gas station at Compass Road and Middle River Road 21221 after shots were fired at the business from a van. There were no reports of injuries at the BP gas station.

The van fled the scene, but crashed into a car and a pole at Compass Road and Martin Boulevard. All four occupants of the van fled the scene. Officers quickly took three of them into custody. At approximately 3:43 p.m., a fourth suspect was taken into custody.

Victory Villa Elementary School, Orems Elementary School, and Middle River Middle School were placed on alert status while police searched for the fourth suspect. Both schools have since dismissed students.

This incident remains under investigation by the Precinct 11/Essex personnel.

Fire crews expect their work at a stubborn two-alarm fire at Rosedale Roofing to continue into the night.

As of 5 p.m., the fire, dispatched at 1:36 p.m., still had not been brought under control. The fire continues to burn inside the warehouse. Motorists should avoid the area if possible. Fire commanders have dispatched heavy equipment to help them remove a wall and thus avoid a potentially dangerous collapse.

One volunteer firefighter from the Middleborough VFC was transported to a local hospital as a precaution because he was feeling ill..

The first-arriving crews found heavy fire and smoke coming from the warehouse. There were no rescues. Commanders quickly called for a second alarm and moved to a defensive strategy, fighting the fire from the outside. About 30 pieces of equipment and 100 personnel are fighting this fire.

Fire Investigation detectives are on the scene and will handle the investigation. A cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

Baltimore County Police have charged 16-year-old Fernando Riva Anderson Vallejos of Baltimore as an adult in connection with the April 27 stabbing in Middle River. He is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.

The investigation into this incident has indicated that Fernando Riva Anderson Vallejos stabbed Jose Guadalupa Hernandez-Mauricio, 20, of Edgewood during an argument outside of a wedding at a Salvation Army hall in the 1400 block of Fuselage Avenue. The exact reason for the argument remains unknown.

At 12:17 a.m. this morning, Baltimore County Police and Fire personnel responded to the 1400 block of Fuselage Avenue in Middle River for a report of a stabbing. When officers arrived on the scene, they found an adult male suffering from at least one stab wound.

That male was transported to an area hospital for treatment. His current condition is unknown.

The initial investigation into this incident has indicated that the victim had been attending a wedding at a Salvation Army hall in the 1400 block of Fuselage Avenue. He was outside of the building arguing with the suspect when the suspect stabbed him at least once in the mid body. The suspect then fled the scene.

This incident is under active investigation by the Baltimore County Police Violent Crimes Unit.

Anyone with information is asked to call Baltimore County Police at 410-307-2020.
